We were up and out the door to the airport by 8:15am. It was a very short drive and we arrived in plenty of time to get to our gate. Time time passed quickly and we were soon on our way to JFK. Sleep came easy on the plane for must of us (as well as the train…and in the van…) and before we knew it, we were back on US soil. Wow, what a change! The temperature was a balmy 80+ degrees and quite a shock to our bodies that were used to much cooler weather. We had lunch then settled in at the gate for our trip evaluation. We were all moved by different things on this trip and acheived different things from the process but the one statement I heard loud and clear was that this had been our best adventure yet! 
Soon we were ready to board and off we flew to Atlanta. When we arrived we collected our bags, met our ride (Thanks Scott!), and headed back to one of the girls homes where we met up with the parents, had a wonderful meal, and talked about the trip (a great big thanks to all of the parents for the great food and the thank you cards and gifts!!) As I listened to the girls excitedly tell stories about the trip, it was clear to me that through friendship and laughter our bond to each other had grown to a much higher level. I know that we will all remember the wonderful times we shared on this trip for the rest of our lives.
Welcome Home. I have really enjoyed following your journey on this blog. Great friendships, great experiences. Thanks for sharing.
